only license comes from on high, and though
the police continue to arrest him. he is reso-
lutte i'll his purpose He does not attempt
to excite sectarian antipathies, and, as.aie

used when put under ground only when
they are punched in tfties or hundreds, and
even then an electric light cable in the

the telephone wires, to the disadvantage of
vocal buzzing The burial of these and the
telephone wires will probably not be COM
